From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum.

While Barry Jenkins' Moonlight had previously been seen as the Damien Chazelle directed film's main rival, it was only nominated for four awards.
Instead, sci-fi epic Arrival and Tom Ford's Nocturnal Animals are the musical's closest competitors, picking up nine nominations apiece.
British film, Ken Loach's astounding I, Daniel Blake leads the pack with five nominations, including best film. Harry Potter spin-off Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them also picked five nominations.
As with every awards announcement, there were some snubs: most notably, Martin Scorsese's epic Silence failed to pick up any nominations, while British film American Honey only picked up one.
Game of Thrones actor Sophie Turner and Preacher's Dominic Cooper revealed the nominations on Tuesday, the full ceremony — hosted by Stephen Fry — taking place on the 12 February at the Royal Albert Hall.
